Not quite. VFAT partitions can be owned by: - The owner of the block device if your mount options or fstab option includes "owner". This is usuall root becuase most of the stuff in your /dev partition are owned by root. - If the mount/fstab options includes "user" or if you specify permissions on console.perms, then the user who mounts the device will have the permission. And smb.conf does not apply to block devices, like mounting your vfat partitions on your hard drive. -- Gideon N. Guillen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Take back the web!
